Breathe.

I am feeling stressed, so I ate a chocolate chip cookie. That has caused me more stress, because I know that eating it was completely with out thought; pure emotion. We went to church, had lunch, went to a major Christmas pageant (with animals and everything) and came home for soup. What,you may wonder, is so stressful? I am asking myself that right now.

It starts with everybody getting from jammies to church clothes. I am AMAZED by how much I can do before my kids and DH even think about clothes. A load of laundry, breakfast dishes, my shower, hair, and dressed.... 5 year old still sitting on the floor in her undies - clothes I threw down to her piled right beside her NOT on her body. My 8 year old is only slightly better, and my DH makes us late ALL the time, sitting on the computer til 840 when we have a 900 am service.... UGH. Lunch is filled with "I don't likes". Waiting for the pageant to start was pure hell and getting back into jammies after dinner and a bath was... UGH! And here she is now(5 yr old) crying because Dad won't help her win the video game they are all playing while trying to give mom a few minutes to herself....

It's no wonder I am fat.
